What a fantastic day at the Disability Awareness Day in Warrington today. 5 of our service users performed Sing & Sign which was very emotional. I feel so privileged to be able to work with such amazing people - I feel like a proud mum ❤️ #DisabilityAwarenessDay
What a fantastic end to LD week, we had a Qigong session this morning (Google it) and this afternoon we had Sing & Sign & then a dance class with DanceSyndrome, wow what a week! Our service users have had such fun as have the staff. #LDWeek2023

Great to see that all of the @Mersey_Care estates and comms teams’ hard work to engage so well with our service users has been recognised. This will be a fantastic facility to support great care for people who require low secure learning disability services to a life beyond care.
Proud that our new secure facility, still under construction, has been Highly Commended at this week’s @DIMHN awards ⭐
See the latest pictures of Aspen Wood and hear how beautiful therapeutic settings are co-produced in our film.

We had a blip this am, no power so our Psychology session had to be postponed 🙁 We had a treasure hunt around the grounds which was great & then another one of our wards ran an activity. Last day of LD week tomorrow, a ward activity and then Sing & Sign & dancing! What a week
We had a wonderful activity this morning with our fab student Nurse Hannah, the service users drew around their hands and wrote something that they will miss about the hospital or grateful for. This pm we had seated exercise session, great fun! I love my job! #LDWeek2023

What a great start to LD Week, our 1st session was myth busting, followed by bingo based on Gardener’s Multiple Intelligence, this afternoon we had an ex service user talk to us about his paid job for an NHS Trust, busting the myth that people with LD can’t work #LDWeek2023

📣 Barbara Keeley (@KeeleyMP) is a Labour party parliamentary champion for #CarersWeek 2023!
Thank you Barbara for standing up for unpaid carers in parliament during Carers Week and beyond. We appreciate your support.

Millions of carers go to extraordinary lengths to care for and support family and friends. As a Member of Parliament, I feel it is important to speak out about the need for better support and recognition of the work that unpaid carers undertake.” Graphic of two hands holding up speech bubbles that day 'I CARE'

We celebrated International Women’s Day with our service users & female staff; a quiz about inspirational women, and the theme for this year #embraceequity2023 we raised the IWD flag followed by mocktails and canapés. The service users loved it which is the main thing! ❤️
